Philo, of Philosophy Through Photography, guest-hosts this week’s challenge. We are invited to present photos that illustrate simplicity. Scrolling through my archives I kept repeating, *”a thing that is plain, natural or easy to understand.”
Above, one small cloud in a vast blue sky floats over the dense evergreens of Deschutes National Forest. Below, an extremely low tide at Long Beach, WA is accentuated by a series of receding tide-lines marked on the sand.
From a long distance view, to a ground level shot, the photographic structure is plain, natural and uncomplicated.
Spare yet dramatic images like the one below, invite us to imagine and create a story. What do you see?
Willow catkins along the edge of a marsh pond are a quiet statement of spring re-emerging.
A single wind turbine on the bluffs of the Columbia River is part of a large green energy complex. Below the tracks of a seagull near surf’s edge.

Lindy, I particularly like the mushroom shot and the one right below it. But they’re all good examples of simplicity.

Thank you, Janet. Nice to hear from you. Looking forward to your upcoming LAPC challenge!
Thanks, Lindy. That’s so nice of you. I hope you enjoy it because I certainly had a lot of fun putting it together.
GREAT photos. Good eye for composition. 👍
Cheers!
Love these clicks, Lindy Low Le Coq.
What a superb composition!
A visual treat indeed!
Each image tells us a story.
The solitary cloud with evergreens reminds us of the beauty of individuality, embracing solitude!
Low tide at Long Beach brings us to the hidden treasures.
3rd image is fantastic! Is it a wedding/ceremony arch on the beach? The dark clouds and the arch together remind the couple to embrace the storm together.
Willow catkins are sure to remind us of the importance of Spring!
The very appearance of wind turbines makes us realize the importance of a sustainable future!
Seagull Track is nothing but footprints of freedom!
Thank you so much for these wonder clicks and these represent simplicity at its best!
What high praise! Thank you so very much.
Some really lovely compositions here!
Thank you for viewing and commenting, Allison!
Beautiful examples of simplicity. I love the structure on the beach with the dramatic clouds. It looks like a wedding took place there.
Thank you for your kind compliment. I’m quite sure the arch was for a wedding. It was one of those lucky photos – when the scene simply unfolded in front of me!
Love your selections for simplicity. All are beautifully captured. The image of the clouds, wow!
Thank you, Amy!
Oh my Lindy, I REALLY loved your response on this one. Every image is one that would have drawn my lens as well. The beach lines are marvelous, the dramatic sky is beautifully highlighted with the wooden structure as part of the frame, and the willow catkins in the fog are just beautiful. Terrific post!!
Thank you, Tina. I so appreciate your feedback!
